GLADSTONE'S SUPPORTERS.
American sympathy for IreIand-Cocer.
cion Act a Nall in the Conservative Cot
fa-Change OF Feeling on the Home
Rule Question.

New YORK, July l5.
The Earl and Countess OF Aberdeen arrived
in this city at ten O'Clock last night from Nj
sgars Falls.
Lord Aberdeen was Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland during Glsdstone's administration
Being asked BY reporter what he thought
of the criticisms of the conservative press in
England upon the occasion of the recent tes-
timonisl to Gladstone, which represented the
contributors TO the fund as petty, inconse-
quential people, and generally discredited the
character of Gladstones American support
ers, he said
Il am certain that the statements were
based either upon igoIsn or misspprehen-
sion. During my brief stay in America
have seen good deal of Irish-American
sympathizers with Gladstone, and | am GER
tain their character is little understood BY the
English conservatives. | have been struck
with the widespread admiration for Glad
stone, which exists in this country, not only
among Irish Americans, but among Ameri
cans themselves, And with this admiration
goes belief in the policy of home rule for
Ireland which Gladstone represents. The
English are mistaken in supposing that only
the lrish-Americsns here are for the home
rule movement. American sympathy does
undoubtedly help along the fight much in
Ireland. When its character is better un.
derstood we shall derive more assistance
from it,"
Concerning the effect of the passage of the
coercion act, Lord Aberdeen said:
at has occurred to me, although the coer-
cion act has been regarded, and rightly, as
somewhat ominous for Ireland, that it is
much more likely to turn out to be nail in
the coffin of the present conservative admin
istrstion.'
Referring to the great liberal triumph at
Spalding, he said
II consider that it certainly indicates that
public opinion in England is undergoing =
change, and change in the right direction,
that is a change in favor of home rule.
